Synchronising the functions of booleans by their naming

[tebelloq]

Thanks!

Have you tried to run it to see if it was functional? For some reason it is not running at all on my computer. When I click the run button, it freezes. And when I run it in debug mode, it stops when the data is being put into the event structure. This made me think that there is something wrong with the event structure. itself. Could the issue be with my version of labview?

I will try to sort it out though, and thank you very much. This has been the most helpful forum I have joined in a while.

Regards,

Hi,

yes I tried it and it did work on my machine.

The code stopping when all inputs for the event structure are there is intentional.

The event structure waits for an event to happen thus preventing polling and saving processor time.

Have you tried switching one of the four buttons? It should do something then.

I think it should work on your version too.

For event structures and property nodes the snippette tool leaves a bit to be desired.  The Code Capture Tool can address those issues and is compatable with LabVIEW so, available from the tools network.  Here

Thanks Jeff, I'll look into it

I did, but nothing happened. I am not sure why this is happening though?

Florian,

Thank you so very much.

It actually works.

I just had to save it as an even older version.

Thanks so much for everything. I will definitely look for ways to make it work even better and more optimally.

Sincerely,

Tebello

Weird,

maybe I'm not aware of some changes between LV2011 and LV2012.

Have you made any changes to the vi? If so repost your version.

Try adding a timeout case to the event structure. You'll find it in the first event category (<application>) inside the add case dialogue.

You'll have to wire a constant to the input that's in the top left corner of the event structure. This is the Timeout in ms. I suggest a value of 50.

You should see that this case is executed repeatedly when the vi is running. This case will execute every 50 ms when no events are detected.

Maybe 2011 needed that.

Florian

Edit: Disregard the above - you obviously made it work.

Glad I "helped" you.

I'm sure once you've delved a little deeper and gotten the hang of LabVIEW you will look back and think:

"Why the hell did I follow through with this weird suggestion. This could be done so much simpler"
